This. I’ve seen h1b’s put up with so much toxic culture because if they get fired they have something like 30 days to find a new job or they’re kicked out of the country.
The companies Glassdoor rating was terrible and no engineer with any other option would apply. Instead of fixing the culture issue and raising wages they just hired more h1b people and the downward spiral continued.
It sucks because it also drives a wedge with employees who blame h1bs for keeping wages / conditions down when really everyone should just be blaming upper management.
